Transportation Woes on the Vigil of the Feast.

I should have left the house 90 minutes before the start of service, because on a Friday night it can take a 1/2 hour to find a place to park in the area of Union Street and the Polk Gulch. But I was late. I only left 70 minutes before the start of the service. Then we had stop-and-go traffic on the Bayshore Freeway all the way from Mountain View to San Mateo. At that point I only had 20 minutes to get to church. Then I heard on the radio that a truck was stalled on the Bay Bridge and trafic was backed up all the way to the Stick. I just turned around and came home. Yes i am bummed. The boys and I aregoing to watch Boys Town while my wife does homework.
